When we've reported on Latvia before, it's been for worthy and decent tourism reasons like promoting a visit to Riga's Occupation Museum. This decency is all about to change.

Recently in Russia, workers digging holes to plant trees hit a pipe. A common-enough occurrence, until they discovered the pipe was filled with homemade vodka. And this spirited spirit was heading over the border into Latvia. Incredibly, this wasn't even the first such pipe to be found. Nobody's quite sure who's responsible--this pipe ran between two empty, rented houses--but the Russians have turned off the pipeline, anyway. We suppose there are a few thirsty Latvians this week.
